Spangler was an under-the-radar quarterback prospect that was getting some looks for football. But he has decided that basketball is his future. It doesn't look like he got any scholarship offers from football, but he got looks from schools such as OU.

Ryan Spangler, a 6-foot-8, 215-pound quarterback from Bridge Creek High in Okla., threw for over threw for over 3,000 yards and 33 scores as a junior in 2009.

Additionally, he is also one of the finest basketball players in the state. He plays for the AAU team Athletes First out of Oklahoma City and his skills have been described as the “real deal” from those scouts that have seen him play so far this spring.

"Colorado has said they like that they like the way I rebound and the fact that I am always around the ball," he said. "Rebounding just comes naturally to me. And while most big men have trouble running the floor, I do that well, so that helps me a whole lot."

Spangler averaged 26.8 points, 18 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game as a junior.

"Pictures can show you stuff but it was way prettier than what pictures show. It was way nice," said Spangler on Monday night. "The players on the team really stood out to me, as well. They really took care of me. And their facilities are real nice and improving."
